Looking Forward

The Release of Going East! add-on for ETS2 was a definite success, we
are absolutely happy that our loyal fan base is supporting us in growing
the game. Rest assured that we will keep on pushing! More on our ETS2
expansion plans coming to this blog soon.

Meanwhile, work on the first stage of American Truck Simulator project
is moving full steam ahead, and the focus of our blog during upcoming
months is going to switch to showing you more of this game.

VALVE said :Whole genres of games that were previously only playable with a keyboard and mouse are now accessible from the sofa. RTS games. Casual, cursor-driven games. Strategy games. 4x space exploration games. A huge variety of indie games. Simulation titles. And of course, Euro Truck Simulator 2.

OK, SCS, we need some info about this project but we need more interesting game in finish than ETS 2. It's hard to do I know.Pay more attention to landscapes, roads and interchanges. In the U.S., there is a very unusual multi-level interchanges (as you know).In every state of America's road rules are different as well as in Europe - restrictions in speed and tonnage of cargo, for example.In the ETS 2 we pay repair truck out of pocket - it's not right for such purposes is the insurance companies that reimburse the damage. Drivers pay for insurance services, depending on how often we find ourselves in a traffic accident.

Wow! These screenshots looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm impressed again by the passion you guys have making such games and I wish you luck with any of your future projects! I love the 18 Wheels of Steel games and honestly I can't wait for the game to come so I can hop into my Peterbilt (my favorite American truck manufacturer with Kenworth and Freightliner) and drive thru the American dusty roads like a real American truck driver, hehe!

Congrats!This game looks amazing, the city looks almost like GTA5! Added a lot of charm to this game if the world filled people.Add the necessarily have the opportunity to buy their trailers and hands on the steering wheel.

in the way you want it... MP is not possible...just listen to the interview with Pavel and learn, there will no MP in near future, and as a professionell software develper I can understand Pavel, If scs make a MP now then all the people who want a MP will complain, because this is not a racing game. In racing-games MP is no problem, but with openworlds, openmods, opentraffic you get into many problems...

MP in ETS2 will only work with small Maps, no Traffic, no Mods, and limited players. So better SCS don't make a MP. It will take to many ressources away from develping important stuff and the result will not that what the people want.

Hi scs, I'm really happy to hear about American truck sim and I have 3 questions1st : Will it have 53 and 48 feet trailers ?2nd : Will it have Road train ( 2 or 3 trailers like in Ontario or Quebec ) ?3rd : How big is the map ? Thanks for all thoses great games and keep going on ATS :)

Hi I have 3 more questions about this game1st: Have you ever thought to make a simulation with log books of drivers ( hours driven,sleep,work and other ) ?2nd: Does it's possible to connect hoses ? (air,brake,eletric ect )3rd: Can we use the Park brak ( yellow ) and the Trailer air supply ( red )

Is that a Ralph's Supermarket sign in the first panel in the upper right? Wow! This is going to great. Those images capture LA's streets very well. Can we expect other locations of the US to be as authentic? A Kroger Supermarket in the Midwestern US, Hess gas stations and Stop & Shop Supermarkets in the northeastern US and Publix Supermarkets in the southern US?

Very good! I know it says "American" Truck Simulator, but I sure hope that Canada gets included, like it was with the earlier SCS games set in North America. Perhaps then "North American Truck Simulator" might be a better title.

Hope this new trucking game will be much more interesting than ETS2 who first of all appeared a very good game but in long term, it's getting boring due to non challenging during delivery, hope you will put difficulty level and many other things asked by ETS community.

No, the stop line matches up where crossing traffic lanes start. It is parallel to the parking lane. The stop sign is back on the curb because otherwise it would be in the way of vehicles turning right.

If the truck is turning left it has plenty of room as the truck has two lanes of traffic to cross first.

If the truck is turning right it has room from the tapered off parking lane to use to make the turn.

Looks like right out the 1970s! (That's a good thing). I agree with the classics. I want to see some old KW's, Petes and Freightliners. And PLEASE support multiple monitor views (like in ETS2).... THANK YOU PAVEL AND SCS!!

I Remember that, when SCS showed, for the very first time, some teasers of American Truck Simulator, was shown some teasers of a Bus game Project. So, SCS, tell me: What happened to that Project? Have you forgot your bus-loving fans???

its amazing how these guys can make games with awesome graphics without the need of a pc upgrade while rockstar makes games with more or less the same graphics and you need the best of the best....... well thats just my opinion....

It kinda frustrates me tbh. ETS 2 has so much more potential if SCS would focus on upgrading the world instead of expanding the map. Its a good game with lots of replay value, but it could be exceptional.

I like your serie of 18 WOS Extreme Trucker, Do you know why? Incredibly beautiful lanscapes, interesting roads, unusual trailers/cargo. We are waiting for this! Do not forget to create free space for Latin America mod/DLC. =)

Lovely screenshots! It's very nice to see different styles of trailers (image 2 single axle "pup" trailer).Being a truck driver in real life, I see a lot of these trailers on the road and many times they are coupled into 2 or 3.Please do not forget to include weigh scales. Truck drivers have to proceed to weigh scales when requested.There are usually flashing orange lights on the signs instructing drivers to slow down and proceed to a weigh scale. It would add a lot of realism into ATS.Keep up the splendid work.Kind regards,Canadian truck driver - Zulnex

You can't do a nice screenshot that says "pause" because the screenshot does not capture the word "pause". If you want other "indicators" in the screenshot just leave them up and they will be captured along with the image.

Thou hast talked in a manner thou cannot understand.

But blur in Photoshop is easy. Much easier than explaining to someone like you how to take a screenshot in a video game.

It could be "American truck simulator" to make a component ETS2 as DSL "Going to America" Then the nine-European Vikiki add say 16 American trucks and say 120 cities in the United States and Canada. All this beauty to sell for 30 euros. ETS2 as DSL "Going in America., for those who want ridden only America can purchase a American truck simulators.

Sorry that I wrote a second time, but made ​​the mistake of writing. How are you such an offer?

Good work SCSSOFTWARE, however, you must pay attention which one cannot crack then the DLC's, then goes, e.g.: easily with the "GOING EAST" add-on, just the ETS 2 GOLD.exe download, copy the files then from dlceast.scs and already gehts... (however, the closer I do not betray, because I might support SCSSOFTWARE and not this wants to her you cracks)!I myself have bought the add-on and find it great, but are careful...

P.S.: The next DLC will be Italy! (Being able to do one by the background map in the editor recognise!)

I'm just hoping we will see some pics of oversize/wide loads and double/triple trailers. Regular trailers (single tankers, single dryvans etc) can get boring to drive in a game (it's alright in real life when you're getting paid real money!)

Also, please make it possible to miss gear shifts and hear the CRUNCH :D

I think you should get some real american truckers (that play your games) involved in the development process to get input and feedback to make sure the experience is accurate and the driving is realistic.

Here in Australia, if another truck overtakes you, you flash your headlights at them when they are safely past your truck so they know it is safe to merge back into your lane. Many people outside the trucking community are not aware of little things like this, but it goes a long way to the feeling of comradery amongst truckers. Even little things like passsing AI trucks giving you a little wave as you pass each other.

looks good,but i'm guessing that this and bus sim is why it takes so long to get new stuff for ets2.I bought ets2 as am from europe and hoped it would at some point cover the hole of europe,but with the new games i'm guessing ets2 expansions will become less and less.

SCS Software, I am an american driver that loves your games. If you want any feedback on loads or delivery routes, feel free to contact me. I specialize in agricultural and construction equipment transport and have moved loads up to 13' wide and 14.5' tall trough-out the continental 48 states and the eastern provinces of Canada. I have pictures of some of the loads I have moved on my facebook page.

If I may note one little suggestion: If this issue is not too difficult to handle, I would say that increasing the grass density in your future projects as well as in ETS2 in one of the oncoming updates would be great because, in my opinion, green landscapes covered with separate tussocks violate the authentic appearance of a game to a certain extent (ETS2 Promo Trailer 2:41++ for instance: the meadow on the right of the road does not look very good). Keep up your amazing work! I am looking forward to anything you are working on!

Excuse me! I would on no account consider such a politely stated suggestion a reason for becoming offending. I appreciate the fact that SCS Software offer us the possibility to pass constructive criticism on their work by writing comments and I cannot understand why I should not make use of it. Just because some people out there might regard my opinion as dispensable? If a comment does not correspond to one's concept, there is no need to reply to it sarcastically as far as I know. Good evening.

The last picture might indicate plans for bigger rigs with more than just on trailer and a bigger overall length. The sidewalk recedes and there is no 90 degree angle for the turn, thus making it easier to take the turn, even though there is just one lane.The whole map has to be created with the length and articulation of the truck and trailer in mind and therefore this picture is very telling!

Awesome...just I hope that will be really realistic everything, .... and most I hope that you think about Multiplayer too !! On Internet ...that will be success for sure !!! Also I hope that we see some huge,big double trailers in game ...like in real world in USA !!

The screenshots looks awesome! I hope the city driving aspect will be improved, i.e. make the cities bigger. I realize you can't make them anywhere close to realistic but at least 15-50 streets (small cities to large cities) instead of 4-8 as it is today.

SCS, this looks fantastic. I like the fact that there is a lot of color in the graphics, great contrast, and great clarity. I hope it really looks this good when we play the game, because with ETS2 your screenshots look fantastic but when you really play the game, while the graphics are not bad, they definitely are nothing compared to the screenshots. Fooling people is not nice!!! I know it's a good business tactic, but it really disappoints your customers. Anyway, I am thrilled to see that you're working on an American Truck Simulator, since I am an American and you guys haven't made a modern simulator for the United States. I hope you include Mexico and Canada as well like in older games (18 WOS). But whichever way you go, I know you will create a great truck simulator.

I am one happy camper after seeing this! It looks downright epic, SCS. And with some of the little details that I noticed, this game is really going to be something to look forward to. Keep up the good work!

I really hope the map is much larger than 18 WOS Haulin', with alot more cities, and make the cities with more difference in size, cause in euro truck, city size of a city with 300k more people in real life would be almost the same size as a smaller one, so I really home there's a difference in city size. And let us buy our own trailers, and include alaska and Hawaii (maybe even canada and mexico too since they are in north american)
